And CNET -- -- they were cooking with the Wolfgang Puck pressure of it.
This is a countertop appliance in your kitchen the promises to cook meats and poultry.
Quite a bit faster than the conventional -- you might be using.
It does this because it's -- pressure cooker -- this valve up on top here that locks in the heat locks and moisture actually gets the boiling point of water.
-- that makes the steam and it uses your feud super hot and that's what.
-- -- --
Now you don't have to pressure -- with this thing you can lead the valve on top vented and not steal it's that when you're using it and that will -- make it into a very large toaster and.
But if you're using that pressure cooking function you're going to get really fast performance and that's the main claim -- things we wanted to --

You look at here it's got the event spot and then it's got these two different seals is actually one large -- position here anything outside event will steal it.
